Who Is The Dallas Sierra Club and Why We Matter...

There is so much beauty in North Texas. From the people to the places they inhabit, there are rich cultures and communities; vast spaces and urban centers; and blends of histories and cultures. The Dallas Sierra Club is proud to support and assist all our communities and to help them to protect their individualism while also creating an environment free of industrial pollution, impure air, and contaminated soil. We also believe that the best way to honor the environment is to get out in it! The Dallas Sierra Club does this by hosting local and out of town hikes, explorations of wild spaces, and urban outreach to engage those who may not have equal opportunities to surround themselves with green.

The Dallas Sierra Club Needs Volunteers!

Without active volunteers, the Dallas Sierra Club will cease to exist. Because of this, your help is imperative to our survival. While the Sierra Club does have paid employees at the State and National level, the bulk of the work in each state is done by local groups which are entirely volunteer-led. The Dallas group has had a huge advocacy presence in North Texas since the 1970’s, and we’ve been working diligently to better the environment by engaging residents to participate and utilize the strengths they already possess to create positive environmental change. It may be surprising, but much of the work our volunteers do can be done from home with only occasional in-person meetings or events needed. For those volunteers with young families ,full-time jobs, or health issues, this can be an ideal opportunity to help without often leaving the comfort of home. Please consider helping us continue the Dallas Sierra Club’s tried and true tradition of 50+ years as an entirely volunteer-led group. Your help can make all the difference. To volunteer, please contact Victoria Howard, Chair of the Dallas Sierra Club at victoria@dallassierraclub.org.
